peroxidepirateA thread on green_maia 's journal inspired me to post my first-ever poll. Maia's question was whether BtVS would have been a better show if it ended with S5 -- and naturally, that segued into commentary on the final ending of the show in S7. Now I'm curious. And rather than threadjacking over there, I thought I'd start my own poll. Two questions, pretty straightforward. For question 2, check as many answers as you want. For both questions, there's an "other" option in case you don't agree with any of the answers. And please feel free to comment! Also, since my F-list is tiny, I'd love it if anyone wants to link this. I want to know what people think.

Buffy whined for season after season about not having a choice but to be the Slayer, and then she goes and does it to other girls. wft?? Plus having 2 Slayers is what gave The First access to the world, so why on earth would they think it was okay to activate all the Potentials?? That never made sense to me.
The whole battle plan struck me as amateur. They marched in there without a plan or a strategy or a plan of retreat. If it weren't for Spike and the amulet, the world would have been lost that day. There were 1000s of Turok Han and maybe 2 dozen newly minted Slayers. No way that was going to be enough. Skill counts for a lot but so does superior numbers. (And how much skill could the Potentials have anyway after only a couple of weeks of training? Seriously.) Buffy knew how many ubervamps they were facing thanks to her vision... and she still chose to march in there. Dumb. And why the hell didn't Willow do the spell BEFORE they got down into the pit??? Makes absolutely no sense to me.
I love S7 because of Spike's character arc, but the rest of it is very bleh.
